(grunting)

Cool it, baby!

(grunting)

(yells)

You bucked the system, Charlie.

We can't let you
buck the system.

'Cause other guys start.

What we got then, huh?

No system, Charlie.

I told you what you can
do with your lousy system.

We gotta live by the
system in this box.

Or we die by it.

I don't need you or your system.

You gotta wait on our table.

You serve us the best
steaks out of that lousy kitchen.

You need to respect, boy.

You got to be taught that.

Respect for the system.

Now, we're gonna
teach ya, Charlie.

We're gonna teach you good.

I'll see you in hell first!

Chicken, get over there!

Turn around, the three of you.

What's going on...? Freeze!

Better give me
that gun, Swanson.

No chance.

You'll never make it, Charlie.

How can I blow it?

I got the iron.

I gotta bust out of here.

(groans)

I've been waiting
for this a long time.

Not enough.

I got you, Glen!

So either they open that gate,

or I'm gonna send
them one dead man.

Move over there.

Charlie... Move!

Maybe more than one.

Yeah, I kind of like that.

( upbeat surf theme playing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

Hey, I'll go with
you, huh, Charlie?

Look, I got nothing to lose.

I'm serving hard
time. I got no parole.

Who needs you? You
stay with the system.

You're just a stooge.

TOSHI: You say
you don't need him?

How you know, brother?

Look, it's a long walk
to that gate, Charlie.

Look, just take us both.

We get outside, we spread out.

He's right, Charlie.
Take us both.

What do you say, brother?

I'm gonna need more hostages.

Tell us how, you'll get 'em.

Okay.

Hey, what are you doing?

You don't need bullets.

You shoot, you blow it, right?

Well, I f-feel
better with bullets.

My way!

So, what do we do, Charlie?

Tommy, you think you can make it

to the guards' coffee
room right now?

Sure.

Okay.

Bring me back whoever
you find there, got that?

Good as done.

Tosh? Yeah.

Doc Patchett ought to
be in his office right now.

He'd be a good one.

You want doc?

You got him. So move.

Looks like you're
gonna have company.

( suspenseful theme playing)

On your feet.

Now!

Something wrong, doc?

Yeah. In the shower room.

You better come along, man.

It's terrible.

Hold it.

Against the wall.

Up against the wall
like them other brothers.

Can I help that man?

Be my guest, doc.

What happens now, Charlie?

What happens now?

You give me back the guns,
get over against the wall.

What are you talking
about? Man, we're with you.

Hey, man. No more, you're not.

Come here.

Give it to me.

TOSHI: You said we was!

Come on.

Move.

You, Eddie, come here.

Come on.

If I don't get this man
to a hospital, he'll die.

That's tough, doc. Poor Frank.

You tell Captain Wade
I now got six hostages,

and I want that gate opened.

Either the door swings, or
I start sending him bodies.

You got that?

Yeah. Yeah.

So go tell him.

(alarm wailing)

( action theme playing)

What do we got?

Swanson's leading a break.

He's holed up in
the shower room.

Is he one of yours, McGarrett?

Yeah. He got a gun?

Yeah. Where'd he get it?

Smuggled in.

No way of stopping contraband
till we get a new prison here.

How many inmates are
in the shower with him?

Seven.

Including six hostages.
My God. Thirteen men.

We don't open the
gates, he starts killing.

Charlie the only
leader of the bust-out?

No question. Doesn't wash.

Charlie's a thief, not a killer.

Charlie says he's
gonna start killing.

I take him at his word.

Any trouble with
the other inmates?

All in their cells,
under control.

The riot squad's
standing by just in case.

Putting a couple of
riflemen up on the walls?

Three sharpshooters.

Start setting up the press
room for the reporters

before they start
banging in the gates.

Governor call yet? Yeah.

No shooting unless
absolutely necessary.

Right.

There's no way
to fire in at him,

or even lob tear gas,
with those two guards

where they are.

We've got them
covered from all angles.

Is there somebody
he cares about?

A wife, girlfriend?

There's nobody. He's a loner.

Let's see if he'll talk, huh?

Swanson, this is McGarrett, 5-0.

Charlie, this is McGarrett.
I'm here with Captain Wade.

I hear you, McGarrett.

You get my message,
Captain Wade?

You know we're not gonna
open the gates for you, Charlie.

You better think that over.
I got six hostages in here.

No trouble at all
to make that five.

You want me to send you a
body to prove I mean what I say?

What's the beef, Charlie?
What started all this?

I shot a guy!

He's in here
bleeding on the floor.

I got nothing to
lose now, McGarrett.

You and Captain
Wade wanna try living

with six dead men
on your conscience?

Open the gate!

Charlie, is the man
you shot dead yet?

Almost, but not quite.

Charlie, let somebody bring
him out, put him in a hospital.

If he lives, you're
off the hook.

No chance.

Use your head, Charlie.

You listen to me, McGarrett.

I got you in a box. I'm
giving ya 15 minutes.

Then I'm gonna dump
one of these hostages

out in that yard with
his head blown off.

We could put men
over the wall here,

bring them down on
top of the shower room.

Prepared to try it,
but the roof is metal.

Swanson would hear us.

What about tear gas?

We could get men
within easy range

on the wall here, here, here.

There's plenty of cover

in and around the
recreation building.

Even if we got the tear gas
in, he could start shooting

the hostages
before it took effect.

So it's a standoff.
We're not that lucky.

McGARRETT: In about six minutes,

Swanson's gonna start
killing those hostages.

That's no standoff.

We could spread
out the riflemen.

Put two on the building
here, one on the wall here.

That'll give us the best
coverage of the yard

and the shower-room door.

Kono.

New position.

Set up a walkie-talkie
communication system,

but absolutely no shooting
unless we give a direct order.

Right, boss. DANNY: Steve.

Five minutes.
Well, he called it.

He's got us in a box.

All right, let's take
it from the top.

What do we got?

Guards around the prison.

( tense theme playing)

WADE: No one gets by them.

We got ladders at the wall here.

Men experienced in riot control.

No trouble going over
the wall, but he'd hear us.

How long would it take?

Forty, maybe 50 seconds.

Even so the yard is covered.

There's no place for them to go.

Then that's it.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

We're kidding ourselves.

With sharpshooters on the walls,

Swanson's not
gonna show himself.

And even if he did,
anything but a killing shot

would only make it
tougher on the hostages.

Four minutes, boss.

Danno, you remember
Swanson from the trial.

You figure him to back down?

Never. No way.

Captain?

He's gone too far
to back down now.

He has a 24-karat hard head.

Yeah.

But what if we could
give him an out, huh?

What if I could give
him an alternative

so that he could change his mind

and not look like he
was backing down.

That'd change
the whole situation.

Give him a whole new option.

DANNY: Sure, a new option.

But what option?

About two and a
half minutes left, boss.

Charlie?

Charlie?

Charlie?

Time for a summit
meeting, Charlie?

What are you talking about?

What you're thinking about.

I mean, uh, I ain't just some
innocent bystander, right?

Yeah, well, see, I'm
just calling the shots

for Charlie Swanson.

No one else.

(grunts)

Gee, Charlie.

I didn't mean to
be presumptuous.

It's just that the sound
of McGarrett's voice

grates on my nerves, you know?

See... I hate
his living insides.

I do, indeed.

McGARRETT: Charlie?

Charlie?

Thirty seconds, Charlie.

Charlie?

Twenty-five seconds.

He's gonna answer with a shot.

Charlie Swanson.

Twenty seconds, Charlie. Now.

Please, now.

You just made it, McGarrett.

Is that gate open?

I wanna make a
deal with you, Charlie.

CHARLIE: Oh, no.

I told you, McGarrett. No deals.

My way or no way.

It won't cost you anything
to listen to my offer.

So talk.

A trade, Charlie.

Me for the hostages.

You can't go in
there, McGarrett.

Swanson will wipe you out.

And Big Chicken's waiting.

DANNY: Toshi and Tommy,

they hate your guts.

Good as dead, boss.

McGARRETT: What
do you say, Charlie?

Say that again, McGarrett.

A deal, Charlie.
Me for the hostages.

What's the gag?

No gag. I'm leveling.

We're out of time, and I don't
want you to kill any hostages.

What do you say,
Charlie? Me for them.

Okay, McGarrett, you
just made yourself a deal.

(laughing): Hey,

a true command
decision, Charlie.

You send the hostages out.

Start them this way.
I'll walk toward you.

We pass in the middle.

Agreed?

Oh, no.

What happens
while you're walking?

I'm in here with no insurance.

No, no. You come in here.

When you get here,
these guys'll walk.

Take it or pass.

Pass, McGarrett. He
won't let the others go.

He might.

But even if he
doesn't, I'll be inside.

DANNY: Steve,
you can't. It's suicide.

Anyway, we wouldn't
be any further ahead,

so it'd just be a waste.

Well, it's working so far.

We're over the time limit.

He hasn't killed anybody yet.

McGarrett, what do you say?

Look, what other
choice is there?

Just let him shoot the hostages?

Kill 'em off one at a time

until he runs out of fresh meat?

Then make a pass at him?

No, anything's better than that.

Hey, McGarrett,
what's the matter?

You fall in?

What do you say?

I'm coming in, Charlie.

If you hear a
shot, order a rush.

Wall of smoke, tear gas, Mace,
anything, but get there fast.

There's no help once
you get inside, McGarrett.

Think again.

CHARLIE: McGarrett,
are you backing out?

I'm coming in now, Chuck.

Here, Danno.

( suspenseful theme playing)

That's good right there.

You guys stand fast.

You let him come around you.

Around on this side, McGarrett.

Welcome, Mr. McGarrett.

Welcome.

CHARLIE: This way.

That's good right there.

Hands behind your head.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Don't think I'd bring you
another gun, do you, Charlie?

Okay, let them
go. We had a deal.

I kept my end, you keep yours.

You didn't think I was
gonna let them go, did ya?

You're not that stupid.

Why did ya come in here?

I figured your word
was good, Charlie.

My word won't open that
gate. The hostages will.

That's all that matters now.

What if they did open a
gate? Where would you go?

No place to hide on this rock.

No place to hide, no way off.

CHARLIE: One thing at a time.

First I get out of this hole,
and then I make my move.

Is that gate open?

You know it's not,
and it's not gonna be.

All right, I'm gonna turn this
shower into a butcher shop.

Herb, get over here.

Hold it, Herb. Stay put.

Look, Charlie, think.

Think. There's no
way back from murder.

Now, don't be stupid.

Look who he's
calling stupid, Charlie.

(laughs)

He just waltzed right in here,

and he's calling you stupid?

Who's dealin' for the governor
now that you're in here?

Captain Wade and Danny Williams.

Well, now you just
tell His Excellency

I'll start my lunch
with a little caviar,

maybe some pâté
and a nice, big, juicy...

Shut up, Chicken!

Get over there.

Get over there!

All right, Charlie, all right.

Herb, get over
here, or I'll kill you...

Wait a minute, Charlie.

It'll be your life for his life.

You get over there.

Move!

It's my life anyway.
My life in this hellhole!

With this system!

No way for me to live with that!

I gotta get out or
the system gets me.

I got nothin' to lose
now, McGarrett!

Nothing!

You just spoke my
innermost thoughts, Charlie.

Why kill Herb?

Why not kill McGarrett?

( ominous theme playing)

Hm.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Why not?

That's right, governor.
McGarrett's still in there.

We'll just have to
wait till the next move.

Well, so far there's no
way to move straight in.

Not without losing those
hostages to Charlie Swanson.

Of course, governor.

The minute anything
happens, I'll let you know.

Mahalo.

The governor's
plenty worried, huh?

Yes, he knows as well as
any of us what we're up against.

Sick about it.

Wishes us good luck.

Steve is going to
need plenty of it.

(phone buzzes)

Yes? That's right, scope
rifles, all three of them.

Take the positions
indicated and wait for orders.

(door opens)

Anything?

No. No further word from
the shower-room area.

Steve could be dead
in there right now.

No. Charlie Swanson's
smart enough

not to blow his last
chance of getting out alive.

Maybe he figures
it's already blown,

and there's nothing left to do

but start sending
out dead bodies.

He knows what will happen then.

That won't stop him unless
he can figure another way.

That's why Steve went in.
To show him another way.

If he can find one.

There's nothing we can do about
that, Danny. That's up to Steve.

We got our own work to do.

Yeah.

Okay, where do we stand?

Sharpshooters
moving into position.

Three of the best
riflemen I have.

Everything else is ready.

The riot squad, smoke
grenades, tear gas.

Has Kono set up the
communication system

with the walkie-talkies?

All set. We'll hear the
minute anything breaks.

Chin, why don't you
give Kono a hand.

I can't have a
communication breakdown.

Good as done, Danny.

What about the reporters?

They're gathered
in the press room.

Any word comes in,
I'll contact you there.

Captain... one favor.

If something goes
wrong out there,

let somebody else
handle the press.

I want some time
with Charlie Swanson.

Kill him, Charlie.

Kill him!

He killed us when
he put us in here!

I left some orders, Charlie.

You pull that trigger,
and you're dead.

They hear one shot, one,

and they'll come tearing
in here and rip you open.

So killing me is the
same as killing yourself.

You want to stay alive,
you keep me alive.

CHICKEN: Charlie.

Charlie.

Lemme help ya.

I mean, you got a lot
of thinkin' to do, right?

Well, I can watch
these guys for ya.

You can kill McGarrett for
me, that's what you mean.

You gotta trust
somebody, Charlie.

Too many guys to watch.
Too much to do for one guy.

I mean, this is a
bloody war, man, ain't it?

What do you say, Charlie?

All right, all right.

But McGarrett is
mine, remember that.

Don't. Don't, Charlie.
Giving him a gun is a mistake.

A big mistake.

Hey! Listen to me.

Chicken and me,
we're both on the inside,

and we're chokin' to
death in this rat hole.

That's the way to
talk, Charlie, baby.

He's a loser. He's
a loser, Charlie.

(chuckles)

He's a slimy dope-pusher.

He's like you like
oil is like water.

Wet, but they never mix.

Thanks a lot, McGarrett.
I'm callin' the shots.

Uh... wouldn't the
automatic be better, Charlie?

I mean, this ain't much
good if they try to jump ya.

No.

One bullet is enough,
Chicken. If they move, you shoot.

I'll take it from there.

But you got the other automatic.

One bullet is enough, Chicken!

I was just thinking...
Load the gun.

This man needs a
blood transfusion.

Needs the bullet removed.

If I don't get him to
a hospital, he'll die.

I didn't shoot him so
he'd feel better, doc.

Please, Charlie, let
the doc take him out.

If he lives, you got a
chance for parole someday.

When?!

When he's 80?! When I'm 80?

Listen, whether
Frank lives or dies

don't mean nothin' to us now.

The only thing means anything,
is we gotta get out of here.

And we will,

if we gotta walk on corpses
all the way to that gate.

So don't you stand there,

drownin' us with
your two-bit morality.

And I just gave you
all the facts, cop.

Chicken is right, McGarrett.

You're here for one reason only:

to help us bust out.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(all chattering)

All right, fellas.

All right, fellas.
Fellas, hold it!

You know we won't get
anywhere if you all talk at once.

We have deadlines, Williams.

All right, there's
been no change

since the initial release
from the governor.

That was over an hour
ago. So, what's new?

We get pictures? Anything?

Inside the prison? No chance.

What are you trying
to do, Williams?

Manage the news,
control the press?

You know better. All we
want is the simple truth.

You're saying we just print
cheap and sensational headlines?

Your words, not mine.

Then tell us how those
prisoners got the guns?

This is Hawaii State
Prison, not Leavenworth.

This place is like a sieve.

It's like a box
with an open lid.

Almost anything can
get in from the outside.

The governor, the legislature,
the department of corrections

have been screaming
about this institution

for the last 20 years.

That's right,
everybody's screaming.

Everybody agrees
we need a new prison,

but nothing happens.

What's the hang-up,
Mr. Williams?

The hang-up is geography,
pure and simple. Where to put it?

A political football.

Yes.

We've got seven
lives on the line.

He kill any of
those hostages yet?

No.

One was supposed
to go 10 minutes ago.

That's what the
inmates threatened.

What stopped them?

McGarrett.

Where's McGarrett now?

He's in the shower
room with the inmates.

( tense theme playing)

Ahhh. Not bad.

Not bad, McGarrett.

How much you pay
for your ties, huh?

Huh?

(scoffs)

You cruddy cop.

(spits)

Before you put me in here, I
spent more for my shoelaces

than you spent on
that lousy suit of yours!

Sure.

I'm a cop. You're a dope-pusher.

Before long, you're gonna
be a dead cop, McGarrett.

You like zinging me, Chicken?

I like killing you
better, McGarrett.

Come on.

Come on. Just
take a little step.

Oh, no. No, no.

If you're gonna do it, you're
gonna do it on your own.

I'm not gonna help you.

Hold it, Chicken.

Hold it!

McGarrett, walk
halfway over here,

hands behind your back.

Get Danny Williams out here!

Kono.

Right.

Swanson wants to talk to Danny.

I'll get him right away.

Whatever you're thinking,
Charlie, it's not gonna work.

Oh, it'll work. 'Cause
I got seven hostages.

Sure. Sure, you can kill
seven people, maybe more,

but that's not
gonna open the gate.

Keeping Frank
alive is the only thing

that's gonna get
you out of here.

You ought to know
better than that, McGarrett.

Frank lives, he's
gotta come after me.

And in this place, he
won't have far to go.

You afraid of him, Charlie?

Him? No. The system? Yes.

Can't beat it.

Frank controls pills, junk.
That's as big as you can get.

Gives him lots of
muscle, lots of juice.

Any one of 30 guys

could put a bullet or a
knife right through me.

You could get
protection, Charlie.

In this box? Never, no way.

Then change it.

What did you say?

Change it! Don't put up with it.

Come on, McGarrett, this
place will never change.

It'll be the same till
it rots and falls apart.

Then they'll glue it
back together again,

it'll stay the same
for another 20 years.

Charlie Swanson.

This is Williams.

Get back against the wall.

Charlie Swanson.

You're dead, McGarrett.

No matter what
happens, you've had it.

You count the
minutes, McGarrett.

What about the gate, Williams?

Can't do it, Charlie.

It's your last chance, Williams,
you tell the governor that.

No deals this
time. No more talk.

The gate or a body.

It's going to be bloody.

He won't have it no different.

Things could change.
There's still time.

Ain't that much time, brother.

I better call the
governor. Chin.

Come on, McGarrett.

Come on.

I'm beggin' ya.

Just give me a
chance to kill you.

Just a chance.

Make a break for
it. Somethin', huh?

Huh?

Hey, Charlie.

You wanna make
points with the governor?

You just tell him
McGarrett goes first.

What about you guys when the
guards come chargin' in here?

Haven't you got
anything to say about this?

Shut him up, Chicken.

(McGarrett grunting)

Hold it!

Hold it!

He's no good dead.
Alive, we can use him.

Hey, look, Charlie.

McGarrett's right.

Those guards out there,

they come bustin'
in here shootin',

we're all gonna get creamed.

Oh, that's tough. I owe you one

for the lesson you gave
me when I come in here.

Frank's idea, man.

You bought it.

If they come in that door,

I'm gonna stand
right behind you.

You ought to hold a
dozen bullets apiece.

Swanson. What?

He can't last more
than five, ten minutes.

You got a problem, doc.

You're an animal, Swanson.

Big deal. This
place made me one.

Right, McGarrett?

I was wrong, Charlie.

You're no different.
You are an animal.

You and Chicken
deserve each other.

(cocks gun)

Go ahead and shoot.

You wanna rot in here
for the rest of your life.

Let me kill him, Charlie.

He owes both of us.
Come on! Come on!

Let the doc take him
out of here, Charlie.

He's bleeding to death.

He can be your ace, your out.

If he lives, you got
a chance for parole.

If he dies,

I die, any one of these
guards die, you're finished.

You're locked up in here
for the rest of your life.

You wanna be first?

Charlie!

Get back.

Get back.

You're a dead man.

( suspenseful theme playing)

You're a dead man.

Somebody blew
the orders, Charlie.

I said no shooting.

I swear it. That was the plan.

Kill him, Charlie.

Kill him! They're gonna
butcher all of us in here!

Kill him!

No matter what happens,

no matter what
happens, do not fire again

unless you get a direct
order from me. You got that?

Yes, sir.

Somebody blew it, Charlie...

You lie! You're a liar!

All cops are liars!

Let the doc look at
your wound, Charlie.

Don't try anything.

You'll keep losing blood
till the bullet comes out.

Are you through, doc?

Then beat it.

Charlie.

Charlie, look.
You can cash this.

You can cash it. You can
turn it into something good

and stay alive.

What're you talking about?

The state needs a new prison.

You want an out.
You want to stay alive.

That's what I'm talking about.
It adds up to the same thing:

For the first time,
you got muscle.

Use it, Charlie, use it.

You can win.

You're tryin' to
use me, McGarrett.

Get me to do something
you can't. That's funny.

You said that you're
afraid of the system?

You got a chance to
change it right now.

How can I change the system?

Make a list of demands.
They've gotta listen to you.

He's connin' you, Charlie.

Stallin', tryin' to save
his own stinkin' life.

For the first time in your
life, Charlie, be a winner.

CHICKEN: Winner? Listen,

They'll spit on your demands.

A con can't change anything.

Charlie, I told you.

He's got nothing to lose.

He's a lifer. He
can't get life twice.

He wants to kill. If you
listen to him, he'll kill you.

Charlie...

don't give up any
of the hostages.

For each one you give up,

you give up a chance
to bust outta here.

Please, Charlie.

Okay.

Clyde, doc, Ben,
Abe, take Frank out.

You're makin' a
mistake, Charlie.

At least keep the
doc, you need him.

What I need most is
McGarrett. I got him good.

If nothin' works,
he don't work ever.

I'm bettin' my
life it will, Charlie.

Hey, doc.

When you get outside,

tell Danny Williams
I wanna talk to him.

Okay, Swanson.

But don't move around.
You'll bleed to death.

What're you gonna tell Danny?

I'm gonna tell him to
send in some big wheel.

Someone everybody knows.

He can't do that.

What do you mean, he can't?

He can't and won't
risk someone else's life.

Did you con me, McGarrett?

I told you, Charlie.

Yeah. He took ya.

Shut up.

I said I'm betting
my life on it, Charlie.

Okay.

Come on, McGarrett. Let's
write up those demands.

Let's go.

You can hand 'em to
Danny right through that door.

No risk for him.

No risk for me.

What do you get if they build
a new prison, Charlie, huh?

Nothin'! Minus zero.

I tell you one thing I get.

It's a chance to see
you in a new box.

One you don't own. You
and Frank and all his boys.

What are you listenin'
to him for, Charlie?

Maybe I'm listenin' to myself.

How bad is Charlie hit?

Not fatal, unless
he bleeds to death.

I gotta get that
one a transfusion,

get him to the
hospital right away,

or I'll lose him.

Chin, go with him.

Get as much
information as you can

and get back as
quick as possible.

Okay.

Charlie.

CHARLIE: Hold on.

And the hospital ward.

It's in the cell block right

right next to where
the kitchen crew lives.

That's no good.

You got sick guys
and food-handlers

right next to each other.

Someday you'll have an epidemic.

And the hobby shop.

Nothin' was done after
the old one burned down.

And they promised to rebuild it?

They promised.

Okay, what else?

And the psychos.

Aah!

Should've listened
to me, Charlie.

Shouldn't have let the doc go.

You're bleedin' now
worse than Frank.

Yeah. You're waiting around
like a vulture, aren't you, Chicken?

Waiting and hoping
that Charlie'll pass out

so you can take over.

He's trying to start
more trouble, Charlie.

I'm tellin' ya, you and me got
a date, and don't you forget it!

I'm looking forward
to that, Chicken.

Oh!

What about the psychos?

They got 'em in the same
place that they got the sick guys.

Put that down, McGarrett.
There's just a thin door

between guys who
are sick in the head

and guys who are
sick in the body.

Okay, what else?

The homosexuals.
These old, smart ones.

They don't do anything to keep
'em away from these young kids

that're just comin' in
for their first stretch.

You wanna know...? You wanna
know what's really rough, McGarrett?

It's knowin' how
close everything is.

You know how far away my
woman is from where you're standing?

You face downtown
Honolulu and spit real hard,

you'll hit her front door.

Every time I go out
in that recreation yard,

I can see her house.

I can see her house,
and I can see her.

You try livin' with
that for a while.

It'll tear your guts out.

McGarrett, do you
think that the papers

are gonna print
what I'm tellin' you?

Page one, Charlie.
Headlines, guaranteed.

Well, that's just for starters.

The system...

the food, the homosexuals,
the sick and the healthy

all tossed together.

Got it. Got it all.

Okay. Get on it.

You let him go out there,
and he won't come back.

Danno?

I'm here, Steve.

Walk toward the shower.

I'll stay in the doorway
so Charlie can see me.

Right.

Here.

( tense theme playing)

Try anything, you're
dead, McGarrett.

All right, hand him the papers.
Keep them out at arm's length.

Steve, you're okay?

Yeah, I'm okay, Danno.

The demands of the inmates.

I made a deal with Charlie.

See that they're
printed word for word.

Anything else, the deal is off,

the hostages are dead.

Understood. What
about the governor?

Ask Captain Wade to call him.

Bring back the first
copy off the press.

( suspenseful theme playing)

All right. let's go.

Get over there.

No reason why we
can't kill him now, Charlie.

You can't call it off.

Them papers will
be out in an hour.

(laughing)

And we can wrap
him in the newspapers

like some wet fish.

He's trying to even the score.
It isn't your score, Charlie.

He pulls that trigger,

Captain Wade will have
50 guards rushing this place.

Okay, give me your gun, Chicken.

(Chicken grunting)

Hold it!

Back against the wall.

Watch it, Charlie!

Get back.

Next time, I'm gonna
kill the two of you.

They better hurry, McGarrett.

Those grievances are
gonna be on my tombstone.

Hang on, Charlie,
please. You gotta hang on.

( action theme playing)

(siren wailing)

How you feel, Chicken?

Steve, I've got the paper.

Go get it.

Bring it over, Danno.

Toss it in.

It's all there, Charlie.

( dramatic theme playing)

Untie them.

You better come to
Charlie's funeral, McGarrett.

'Cause he ain't
gonna be with us long.

You wanna bet, Chicken?

No chance.

The doc puts him together...

Frank and the
boys are still waiting.

You're a loser, Chicken.

Charlie's gonna walk
out of this box someday.

You never will.

You wanna bet?

Come on, Charlie.

Yeah, but first I gotta do
20 years in the new prison.

I'm a real winner.

Who told you to
be a thief, Charlie?

It's all the fault of
my environment.

Heh. Yeah, sure,
it is. Sure, it is.
